General Description
The TX2FX is an Ethernet media converter that translates transmission signals
from a twisted-pair 10/100/1000Base-TX
cable to a 100Base-FX or 1000Base-X
fiber optic cable. It expands network data
transmission distances beyond the 100
meter limitation of copper wire to over
10 kilometers by using single-mode fiber
optic cable.
For the fiber optic port any standard Small
Form factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module can be used on the TX2FX.
These SFP transceivers modules are
available with a variety of different transmitter and receiver types, allowing users
to select the appropriate transceiver for
the required fiber optical interface.
Further the TX2FX provides automatic
detection and initializing of the SFP Module and has easy-to-read diagnostic LEDs
for continuous status reports on network
speed, traffic and fiber optic port status.
